But you are correct. As I grew I lost my faith! It became impossible to accept stories of magic and miracles when the only proof offered was the demand that I have faith! Sorry, not good enough.. Plus, when I try to imagine myself as a being (such as the biblical God), it seems impossible that of all the things I would choose to do is create beings for no other purpose than to worship me! Sounds more like an egotistical dictator, kind of like the ones who perpetuated Religion in the first place!

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
